Bruce Springsteen sang about the illustrious road and working class culture in New Jersey throughout his career, though truckers in the area know that the state provides a rough and tumble terrain with a diversity of businesses and industries. From Atlantic City to the quaint area of Paterson, The Garden State is a successful and somewhat affluent state through pharmaceutical and telecommunications industries. Drivers in the Jersey area will note the turnpike as well as Driscoll Bridge, both areas of heavy traffic and some level of historical significance on the East Coast.

New Jersey: New Drivers in Growing Demand

A bridge or tunnel away from the big apple, a proximity to all metropolitans of the north east and a major port hub itself, New Jersey is truck driving central - to say the least. With shopping malls, retail/wholesale outlets and other service establishments such as restaurants, hair salons and a variety of small businesses being the main source of its economy, trucks are a vital source of its existence.And with the rebuilding post Hurricane Sandy starting, the demand for New Jersey truck drivers is about to skyrocket.

All the stores constantly needing stock replenished, all the restaurants needing frequent daily deliveries of fresh food and all the offices shipping and receiving supplies...the smaller higher frequency nature of all these shipments are the reason why trucks are most used. Not to mention entire US freight system expanding on both a national and international level, needing more trucks to serve the busier ports, waterways and airline cargo. With trucks already handling over 75 percent of the freight, New Jersey truck drivers play a crucial and ever increasing role within the function of the entire system, both in state and out.

Even with 57,000 people already employed by one of the 3000 New Jersey trucking firms or as an independent driver, trucking jobs in the state are again plentiful.With New York and New Jersey being long established as two of the more affluent states in America, the average annual pay for a New Jersey truck driver is $47,000, certainly far above the national average.

Now more crucial than ever for the entire state of New Jersey to rebuild and retain its ability to function, the trucking industry is doing all it can to meet this sudden and growing demand for new drivers. In addition to many companies offering more pay or package incentives or even on the job paid training, the New Jersey Motor Truck Carrier Association is striving to do a lot more. Already a strong allegiance of members advocating truck driver interests in congress, the association is improving a number of aspects of truck driving within the state as well.
